I didn't like staying here it needs up grading cleaner need to make sure everything is done but no U had to asked for towels rubbish to be emptied been their 7 days bedding wasn't changed at all the best thing was the shower not far to the shops free parking
The beds were clean and comfortable. The shower was hot. Carpet clean and looked new
A few things missing, but perfectly adequate for a short stay and the price was right.
Black marks on shredded old towels, shower cubical requires updating. Stained carpet. Drawers falling apart, mattress collapsed.
No reception, Payment taken out through Expedia immediately prior to arrival and key collection.
We booked for five nights only stayed for one.
Be aware that rooms depicted on Expedia website are enhanced and nothing like reality.

Might help if the check in instructions mentioned that you need to check in and pick up the key down the road at Du Pont motel. Would save an inconvenience and time.

The motel was very run down and no actual reception on site , upon arrival we saw a sticker on old reception door for us to go to another motel down the road to receive keys ( no heads up about this during booking ) , everything was closed up and looked uninviting , very basic cleaning ( stove dirty ) , we had 4 guests in a family suite and were only provided a hand towel ( no towels to shower with ) - it’s fine if your travelling on a budget and want to keep things basic , nice sized rooms etc but could do with a bit of TLC
Staff were super helpful when we stayed there for 4 nights. Our first night in our room the tv remote was not found then next morning staff offered us to move to another room which was helpful comfortable bed, tv with remote, clean room overall.

Liked: Staff & service
Property is very worn
The first room they put me in had no tv remote tried several no good so moved me to another room this still very worn out but staff were fantasic
Broken window frame meant window couldn’t be closed or locked. Locked door could be opened with next to no force. Bed base was broken so bed was like a banana. Tv was unusable even for free to air tv. Wifi drops out continuously. Room was overall extremely rundown, outdated and easily the worst place I’ve ever stayed
We freaked out no one was at the office had to ring to find out whats going on to be told to drive up the road to another Motel to get the key and drive back. Was not informed we needed to do this. Every surface was sticky and yuck, pillows were what we wouldnt even call a pillow full stop. No hand towels or face cloths. Smoke detector was not in sight but hidden in a draw and Wi-Fi was useless kept cutting out was frustrating
Arriving 5.30pm had to go to another motel to get key to room
get in room to find no bath towels or mat had to go back to get these from the other motel. towels had black grease type stains on them
Had shower in the morning. the shower leaked all over bathroom floor and out into the kitchen area. the seals on the shower door had black mold all over them, other faults too numerous to mention.
When returning the key we told them about the shower and we were told "oh don't worry about it"
this motel should be. I believe. de-listed off your choice list for motels in that area

Office person didn't want to provide a few extra towels because the two u get were used & wet
This has got to be the worst place i have ever stayed. For starters, when we arrived to check-in, there was a note on the door saying we had to collect the keys from another motel down the road (no pre-warning of this). The double bed was snapped in the middle and sunk right down. Booked for 3 adults, was only given 2 towels. The unit itself was very run-down and dirty. Would not recommend at all
Units were dirty, water in shower did not drain away so filled up with water which spilt out onto bathroom floor. Toilet seat was broken and quite dangerous to sit on. Carpet was very stained as were bath towels.
